This cathedral tower is made of paper and card and is finally complete!

[@thegrowler-blackwoodngauge]

Hi Michael - I have run out of words to describe your builds ! The detail you have on the tower is absolutely fantastic. You're certainly a very gifted modeller. If only I had a tenth of your ability I'd be happy. Wishing you all the best for Christmas and the New Year 😊

[@dazblue5515]

I'm not someone who has a model railway - or indeed have ever wanted one really, but I absolutely love seeing model railways... I absolutely love miniature towns and the craftsmanship involved in them - be it a model railway or a model village. Chandwell is an absolute joy - I always enjoy these updates.

[@ajmatthews7700]

Awesome work! All the tiny errors make the whole tower look like a completely natural, aged and weathered construction.

[@philipdove6987]

The model is superb! As someone who likes using card I found it refreshing to see someone using card and straight forward tools

[@olivier2553]

Great job Michael!

[@BNSF59]

There are some brilliant modelling items on KZbin but your is the best. The attention to detail is amazing . Even more impressive that it’s in N gauge. Keep up the brilliant work. 👍🚂🚂

[@markjohnson1482]

Excellent video, I enjoyed the tour scenes and historical insights. It's good to see that you too occasionally have to redo a section

[@jonr6680]

This cathedral build video series is magnificent. The history, architecture lessons from Maggie plus modelling methods... plus envious of the esthetic studio environment...

[@farpointgamingdirect]

Ive been building cardstock models for 20 years, and there are some amazing models out there. Great work!

[@davidbrinkmoeller8465]

Amazing modeling

[@JohnSmithShields]

These videos about Bradford are so sureal. I've only visited once yet the whole ambience from Maggie and your model feel like an old friend visiting.

[@musoseven8218]

Amazing work, keep ploughing on👍 Interesting about the masons' marks, they were made so as to identify packets of works, so that pay could be accurately attributed accordingly. There's some nice ones and a good variation on the Avoncliff Aqueduct near Bath. They're on many ancient structures and some modern structures too. The season's greetings to you and yours 🎄🎉🎄🎉😊🙏✌️👍

[@johnpalmer5873]

Superb craft shown here and a very enjoyable video

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Happy (belated) Christmas - and thank you so much for such brilliant content this year!

[@sammisworkshops3762]

Really an amazing series Michael. Your techniques are wonderful. I always learn something watching you. Can't wait to see more progress.

[@rodericfindlay4147]

Lovely job. Inspiring to watch your work. The end result has such character.

[@MartinFutter70]

Excellent story of probably the earliest use of ballistic armour - sheep sacks! Tower has turned out fantastically well and great to have Maggie back laden with more facts. Also, I'm so glad you are resisting the use of 3d parts. Although your gothic pinnacles are not uber realistic, they give a definite sense of what they are...👍

[@fredburley9512]

Stunning work. I found myself that you can easily adopt an "impressionist" approach to modelling so absolute precision isn't totally necessary. 👍

[@barryturner2916]

Your attention to detail Michael as always blows me away, super detail you should take a huge pat on the back on your achievement to-date. A very Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2025 to you and your family take care regards Barry. 🎅🍻☃🎄

[@paulhayton3423]

what great skill and tons of patience..

[@DesertTOON]

Just tremendous!

[@martinpook5707]

Excellent, well done. I've just started on the long gone station in my local town. Having found all the photos I can I discover it was a wood and wriggly tin structure so nothing like you are doing. But wriggly tin at OO should be fun.

[@afm1948]

Absolute cracker mate. Certainly way beyond my patience level. Enjoyb Maggies history snippits. Merry Christmas to all the family and looking forward to much more Chandwell videos in 2025. Arthur

[@georgeclements2742]

Thanks again for another interesting video. Best wishes.

[@eugeniomarins2936]

Dear Sir, What a superb rendering of this stupendous edifice! I went to look for the views on Google Street, but, as it happens in many grand buildings of the kind, the view is obstructed by other unrelated constructions. Cheers from Brazil!

[@grenfellroad8394]

Brilliant video and amazing modelling, the tower looks totally real and awesome. Well done. Cannot wait to see the rest of the cathedral come together. 👍👍

[@themightylui9632]

I really enjoyed this one but am looking forward to the next one which might be encouraging for us that are yet to start building in card

[@timrees2670]

Just amazing work. Love the format of these videos. What a craftsman.

[@robertsmith3330]

Marvellous.

[@C-MAGs]

You are doing a great job!!!!!!

[@TINYPINHEAD]

I'm blown away by your craft and skill amazing and still font get why you don't have more subs

[@djrobi61]

Wow, That was great! Oh my Goodness, atop the tower a view of the Midland Hotel... where have I seen that before? So cool. Love the architecture and narrative, makes model building have a purpose. Thanks again, Have a Happy Christmas to you and yours, Don

[@petertownsend8276]

Michael. More inspirational modelling. Thank you. Have a great Christmas and a very Happy and healthy New Year. Pete.

[@paulsharpe3794]

Hi there yet another great video

[@georginapeacock230]

Admire your artistry, patience and design know-how, I craft building for a community of needle felted mice at 1:24, and that's fiddly. Keep up the good work. Enjoying your videos.

[@ianbareham5872]

Michael Great video with a lot of information from Maggie. The views from the top of The Tower looking towards Bradford like The Midland Hotel & Rebuilt Bradford Foster Square Station. Looking at the new buildings you realise how much land the Midland Railway Station & Goods Sheds had here. The Cathedral is really coming along. Like you say probably the hardest 2 building parts completed. Ian

[@railwayjade]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@danielvalbuenahernando2187]

We love wonky Michael! Excellent job as always... Merry Christmas 🎁

[@bolling100]

The modelling of the tower is magnificent, sorry to be picky but don’t forget the Tempest coat of arms on the tower buttress facing church bank, l believe the Tempest s of Bolling Hall contributed to the building of the tower , can’t wait to see the completed model.

[@ElaineJones-w5e]

Merry Christmas Michael and family have a good un ❤❤❤❤

[@andrewbillinghurst1968]

Another fantastic video, shows such patience and determination. Keep up the grand work

[@CGngauge]

Great video chap. Good to see how you have gone about it... including the mistakes!!! Craig,

[@ChobertonJunction]

Amazing work as I keep saying it seems, but it is so true. Well done.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

great work nice build

[@chrisarmitage5713]

Looks amazing. I'd love to know what your heart rate was when you were cutting the incorrect buttresses away though, that was... tense...

[@DavidJulin-i4x]

You are a A class builder. But you need pepople, cars etc.. to make your towen come to lite. Its to greay....

[@1737sd40]

Your model making is amazing. I enjoy how you create the character of Chandwell with the people you bring in to describe the history and character.
